Donald Trump

Being stubborn is a big part of being a winner.

Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion

We won the Electoral College by a lot: 306 to 223, I believe. And that was a well-fought — that was a well-fought battle. We did a great job.

Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice…but at least he tried hard!

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s were the fun is.

We must understand that governments cannot create real jobs. Only entrepreneurs can do that.

The art of leadership is a serious matter. One must not lag behind a movement, because to do so is to become isolated from the masses. But one must not rush ahead, for to rush ahead is to lose contact with the masses. He who wished to lead a movement must conduct a fight on two fronts–against those who lag behind and those who rush ahead.

The very essence of leadership is having vision.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

You don’t reward failure by promoting those responsible for it, because all you get is more failure.

A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.

If you aspire to be a leader of your own country, you must speak your own language, for God’s sake.

Rule a kingdom as though you were cooking a small fish – don’t overdo it.

The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.

I think people should be nicer to each other

It’s easy to demonise people, you’re usually wrong about it, people are nicer than you think.

The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.

Don’t blame the boss. He has enough problems.

Don’t necessarily avoid sharp edges. Occasionally they are necessary to leadership.

Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team, and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.
